Offline Promotions.....This is cool

Here is what one of our members did for some of his offline promotions. Now this stuff is really cool. I won't disclose who it is unless you want to come forward

This is the kind of stuff that will get you sign-ups if executed right.

How much did the big banner cost?

Poker Chips = Brilliant
Banner Idea = Brilliant
Position of Bonus Code on Banner = Horrible! It'll probably get people to sign-up for PartyPoker, but I doubt even 1 in 5 of them will use his bonus code - its so small and hard to find!!!

How can i find a sticker kit to make those 1.5' stickers for chips.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with the chips and hand those out instead of business cards. The sign needs a the bonus code to be much bigger though.

Personally I would drive the traffic to another unique URL versus PartyPoker. People will remember your banner and remember PartyPoker but maybe not a specific bonus code, at which point they will google party poker bonus code and all the seo gurus get the business.

Just a thought but I had a banner made up last year that is real simple. It's a white background and says my domain on it in black letters.

If anyone knows where to get the inlays "stickers" for these chips, please post in a new thread. This would be good info to have. I've looked around but can't locate any without going to a custom print shop. (expensive)

I'm wondering, we have lots of internet cafe's in Toronto, where the average price to go online is about $3/hour and tons of orientals playing war games. I was trying to think of how to get a few of these cafes to post something for me, any ideas?

I was once in heavy negotiations with Easy Everything Internet Cafes to get them to promote an online casino. They asked for huge moneys, and nothing came of it (especially after I saw 90% of the people in there being backpackers and either sending emails or reading newspaper).

My original aim was to create casino nights at the Cafe, and encourage people to sign up there and then, and even organise a special depositing method.

I would suggest the same thing for poker (probably even easier, as there is no stigma). Speak to them about creating a Poker Night in a small section of the room - u can set up the accounts for them (make sure the tracking works etc), and get them to play (u can even offer free lessons/assistance).

I know the bonus code looks small, but try to imagine this 6" X 2" about thirty feet in front of you, or even 50 feet.

I tested it when I drove up to my apartment and, believe it or not, it's discernible.

But I will go off to Office Depot (I love this place) and have them make me a larger, laminated "Get $25 extra" sign to put on the banner. I will also include my url in big letters for my college promotions. College players are big on poker! JUst ask....
